Empowered women empower women. These words aren’t just a phrase but words to live by. I’ve been lucky enough to have some incredible women in my life, both personal and professional, who have shaped me into the woman I am today. With so much negativity in society, these words are even more powerful and absolutely essential than ever before.

This past weekend, I was honored to be invited to attend Her Conference 2017 in sponsorship with Brit + Co. If you’re not familiar, they’re a media company who truly incorporates this into their foundation. With their platform, their goal is to inspire, educate and entertain women with a creative spirit through content, educational ventures and merchandise which promotes an innovative lifestyle. Founder Brit Morin, an ex- Googler and Apple alum, prides her company on driving the “maker movement”. The site is definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in creative career development, taking an online course or simply checking out their adorable new collab with Target.

One of the best parts of working in fashion media is all of the brilliant, strong women I’m surrounded by on a daily basis. You can truly feel the creativity in the air at any given day at the office. Her Conference put students face to face with some of those women who are leading the pack in the industry.

Her Conference hosted various panels throughout the weekend with mavens in senior level positions for “Navigating the Media Industry: How to Work Your Way Up” to those just getting their footing in “A Day in the Life: Entry-Level Editorial Positions” to other panels in social media, marketing, PR and social impact with the inspiring leaders of the Women’s March. The multitude of view points allowed for a well-rounded learning experience, no matter what your desired area of expertise may be. Each of these women personified that “empowered women empower women” spirit. As Lisa Sugar, keynote speaker and found of Pop Sugar, would say, “Work hard, play nice, and build your dream life.”
